Just mentioning Mo Li, Lin Zhi still felt a pang of heartache.

Fortunately, when she left, Mo Li had grown up and had his own thoughts; he wouldn’t be bullied by Lan Lin.

The person she owed the most in her life was Mo Li. If possible, she was willing to do anything for that child.

“I’m not so unreasonable. After all, he’s flesh of your flesh. It’s not that I forbid you from seeing him, but I fear that after you see him, you’ll find he is more important than me.” Ye Zheng held Lin Zhi tight. “That’s also why I’m reluctant to return to Taicheng with you.”

Lin Zhi kissed Ye Zheng’s face. “Don’t doubt it, you are the person I love the most.”

Despite Ye Zheng’s attempts to stop her, Lin Zhi insisted, and eventually, she still met with Lan Lin.

Before coming to the appointment, Lan Lin had carefully made up her face and changed into a younger-looking outfit. When she appeared dazzlingly before Lin Zhi, she found Lin Zhi dressed simply, without any jewelry, and wearing only light makeup.

Lin Zhi looked remarkably young, her face free of any wrinkles, as if time had never touched her with color.

Such a Lin Zhi effortlessly pierced through Lan Lin’s full armor.

Lin Zhi’s gaze settled on Lan Lin’s face, and after sizing her up for a moment, she said indifferently, “You’ve aged.”

At yesterday’s dinner party, Lan Lin’s makeup was exquisite, and it wasn’t clear. But today, under the sunlight, the wrinkles on Lan Lin’s face couldn’t be concealed by any makeup.

“It seems your days haven’t been as peaceful as you imagined. Has there been a new ‘other woman’ interfering in your life?”

Seeing Lan Lin’s face turn ugly, Lin Zhi added, “The truth is always unpleasant to hear, isn’t it? Others probably wouldn’t tell you such blunt truths, right? Sit down, aren’t you tired of standing?”

Lan Lin had come to the appointment full of bluster, but after just a few words from Lin Zhi, her emotions became unstable.

She took a sip of tea and said in a deep voice, “You’re not living any better. Marrying a man more than a decade younger than you, do you think you can hide the fact that you’re fifty?”

Lin Zhi laughed at the comment: “I don’t need to hide it. Every year my husband personally celebrates my birthday, and he doesn’t shy away from it. No matter how old I get, he will never despise me. But it’s different with your ‘dear husband’…”

Lin Zhi hinted enough to leave Lan Lin speechless.

“You’re just deluding yourself. There’s no man in this world who doesn’t cheat. Do you think Ye Zheng will be the exception? Ali, I’m kindly reminding you not to take a man’s sweet nothings too seriously. Remember back then, Mo Jianrong was doting on you, right? And yet, in the end, he still betrayed you?” Lan Lin’s lips curled slightly, her disdain for Lin Zhi unmistakable.

“Of course Mo Jianrong would, because not all men are Ye Zheng. You better worry about yourself instead, looking all old and faded. You think with your tricks you could keep Mo Jianrong? I’m afraid that won’t work well. Of course, only someone like you would treat a man like Mo Jianrong as a treasure. If it were me, I wouldn’t take him even if he paid me, I’d find him disgusting.” Lin Zhi stated, setting things straight: “I didn’t call you here today to catch up. I’m just warning you, don’t try any schemes under the eyes of Ye Zheng and me. Do you think you can outplay a man like Ye Zheng? You should take a look at yourself instead!”

With that, she put a banknote on the dining table, ready to leave.

“Lin Zhi, I’d advise you not to get too happy too soon!” Lan Lin shouted loudly.
